A newspaper report says a Pennsbury School District student and his parents are suing the district over an alleged violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The newspaper article said the reasoning for the dog being bared was over an incident where the district alleged that the dog bit a student.
The boy used the dog to monitor potentially life-threatening changes in his blood sugar, which is caused by Type 1 diabetes.
